No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

When Al-Qaeda themselves claimed responsibility, even with overwhelming evidence aside? Why were so many people still reluctant, I was researching about this stuff and was shocked to see people who I respect a lot believe in this

Or we could just do what's proven to work.

One lie-spewing puppet for the people who like vanilla. Another for those who prefer chocolate. Maybe a third for those strawberry-loving weirdos.

We want to keep them (the oblivious masses) marching in the right direction. That's all. Truth is utterly beside the point.

Is everyone from lemm.ee deranged?

Spoken like a good, right-thinking citizen. You clearly consume only the most truthful of news-streams.

The projection is delicious, you have no idea where I get my info from.

But I bet dollars to donuts that you have newsmax on your bookmarks bar.

[–] Dr_Satan@lemm.ee -2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Ok

Spoken like a bad, wrong-thinking citizen. You clearly consume only the most dishonest of news-streams.

Better?

You don't need my approval to post, my dude.

Telling how you didn't comment on the Newsmax part.

[–] Dr_Satan@lemm.ee 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I honestly don't even know what a "newsmax" is. Is that the "bad" news stream?

Just out of curiosity, what's the "good" news stream?

[–] mods_are_assholes@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

No single stream, that's the point. Everyone has a bias and only comparing different perspectives can you approach something objective.

Every forum becomes enshittified over a few years so there is no single place you can go anymore with even a hint of objectivity.

See everything and think for yourself and wonder why people are spending so much energy convincing you their bias is correct.
